  • Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
    But bear this in mind, it was meant to be
    And I'm joinin' up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
    And it all makes sense to me
    I know you've never loved
    The crinkles by your eyes when you smile
    You've never loved your stomach or your thighs
    The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
    But I'll love them endlessly

    I won't let these little things slip
    Out of my mouth
    But if I do, it's you
    Oh, it's you they add up to
    I'm in love with you
    And all these little things

    You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
    And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
    And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
    Though it makes no sense to me
    I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
    You never want to know how much you weigh
    You still have to squeeze into your jeans
    But you're perfect to me

    I won't let these little things slip
    Out of my mouth
    But if it's true, it's you
    It's you they add up to
    I'm in love with you
    And all these little things

    You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you
    And you'll never treat yourself right, darlin', but I want you to
    If I let you know I'm here for you
    Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh

    And I've just let these little things slip
    Out of my mouth
    'Cause it's you, oh, it's you
    It's you they add up to
    And I'm in love with you
    And all these little things
    I won't let these little things slip
    Out of my mouth
    But if it's true, it's you
    It's you they add up to
    I'm in love with you
    And all your little things Writer/s: Edward Christopher Sheeran, Fiona Mackay Barclay Bevan

  • Ezmryder from Nsw, AustraliaI like Ed Sheeran I think his songs are great but to me the meanings in this song are horrible this girls body figure keeps coming up as a negative and to me in the end all this song means if I wasn't such a good guy I would call u fat and such quote "you still have to squeeze into your jeans but your perfect to me"
